Look at the employment reports to get a feeling for how strong IB recruiting is. FYI, most IB signing bonuses are 25k, and the salary is quite enough to help quickly pay off the debt.


The one caveat I would add for Duke is that you may be getting recruited to places like BAML Charlotte as opposed to the sexier offices in Chicago/NY/CA

It's a great school. It might be an uphill battle for BB IB but even then, you can make it work. Go for it unless you see yourself at a high M7 next year.

Appreciate it. Yeah obviously an awesome school. Would wanna do NY banking over Charlotte tho

A1, I meant signing bonus, but great point

If you’re 100% focused on IB you should be fine coming out of Duke. My impression is that IB is more of a niche industry for most B schools and that if you hit the ground running in year 1 and network, go to events, etc, you should be able to make it work.

I quit my job at a bank call center (MF dealer) didn’t give out a 2 weeks. I’m finishing up my licenses and school starts in 2 weeks. I’m 22 with 3 years of banking experience, 1.5 years of investment associate experience. Do you think that leaving without giving a notice will follow me in the future? It’s a call center, and I was not able to control my schedule so we always got it 2-3 weeks in advance but couldn’t plan ahead. Will school/scheduling be a good excuse if my next employer asks?

My husband is an Facilities Infrastructure Program Manager, and wants to pivot to the Cloud world. He's not familiar with software development much.

If he keeps his boundaries to general cloud networking, not apps/data?

Hey everyone! I recently graduated this past December and started my current role January 24th. Just this morning I had a recruiter from Meta reach back out to me about a role I applied too last month. Should i schedule an interview with the recruiter? What if it goes well? Would it look bad if I quit my current position to take this role if I end up getting an offer? One reason I would want to switch is because the pay would most likely be a lot higher at Meta then in my current position.

HOWEVER, when I am drunk enough I look in the mirror and see someone who looks like me but with slimmer/more attractive features. It’s very puzzling….

The problem is that I find the work kinda boring - I don't like dealing with low level details. Being a mid level manager is not inspiring. Don't know what to do with my career. I enjoy thinking deeply about problems and strategizing, but don't like the daily grind of impl. I suppose VC may be interesting?
